NRSP Agriculture Processing Company Ltd.

NRSP Agriculture Processing Company Ltd. (NRSP APC) has been established as a "for profit" company. It came into existence on the basis of NRSP's work in "Back to Back" value chain model wherein the small and landless farmers are provided inputs including Farm Credit, Seed, Fertilizer and Advisory Services. This allows the farmer to increase yields but instead of exposing them to market forces at the time of harvest, they are linked to NRSP APC's dedicated processing units for a fair market price thus eliminating the middle man. New jobs for participating farmers or their siblings are offered at plant site while they are also eligible for a share in NRSP APC profits. Since the APC controls the quality of paddy through seed, the product has a strong capacity for export at competitive rates. NRSP APC has set up one paddy processing unit at Hafizabad and plans to set up four additional units by offering equity stakes in the company.
